But one thing it also tells you is that, at least on the search results page, Google's LLM results will have the same strong focus on the present that the core search product does; chatbots are better if you're looking for a thing rather than the most recent thinglike thing.

It's interesting that Google has AI-generated summaries of the relevant parts of results, and an AI-generated summary of the overall results that doesn't necessarily agree with other summary. https://x.com/ByrneHobart/status/2076383062045151384/photo/1

I can think of a lot of ways this could happen, and as with many similar results, I assume it's more likely that the average searcher meant to look for the acquisition rather than the lawsuit.
